Solitaire Green Sapphire Ring 1.07 Ct., 14K White Gold

This ring centers a transparent 1.07 carat cushion shape green sapphire measuring 5.39 x 5.24 x 4.12 mm, cut as a mixed brilliant to balance scintillation and color saturation, with a calculated pavilion depth of approximately 77.5 percent. The mixed brilliant faceting combines a brilliant crown with a modified pavilion, creating a play of small and large facets that returns light while concentrating the green hue toward the table, an effect particularly desirable in medium intense color saturation stones. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the inclusions are minor and do not interrupt the stone transparency under typical viewing, the overall polish is excellent and the sapphire is natural with no enhancement, sourced from Montana, a locality known for producing distinct mint to grassy green sapphires with stable natural color. The proportions and facet junctions in this piece have been selected to favour even color distribution across the cushion outline while preserving lively brightness, a balance that benefits from the mixed brilliant design.

The mounting is executed entirely in 18K white gold, featuring a four prong basket and a tapered shank that reads as a modern classic, with an open under gallery that allows light to enter the pavilion and simplifies cleaning and examination. Structurally the head is engineered for security with well seated prongs and discrete gusseting between the shoulders and basket, a combination that echoes the functional minimalism seen in historic solitaire mountings, reminiscent of late nineteenth century elevated basket settings and the refined low profile gallery work of early twentieth century examples, while maintaining the streamlined purity of mid twentieth century solitaires. The overall silhouette at The Natural Sapphire Company is intended for collectors who appreciate both lapidary nuance and timeless setting geometry, offering a ring that presents the Montana green sapphire with technical clarity, secure hand finishing, and a mounting vocabulary that references historical precedents without sacrificing contemporary wearability.
